No One Else

March 12, 2026
One One Else ~ Photo by Mom and Dad

No one else
sees
what I see. 

No one else
is
exactly
as I seem to be. 

No one else
will make it thru
my life
always there
with me.

No one else

No one
else 
except  me.

I See What You Do

March 11, 2026
Self-illustration by Patrice

Slowly I see
what you do
what
you make
with no regard
for what
others think. 

No you don’t
no
you do not. 

You do your own thing
and
I’ll follow your example. 

I’ll do everything
that
takes me on my own trail 
my own path. 

Maybe we’ll meet again
maybe not. 

But
you showed me
my way. 

By doing
what
you needed to
doing what you ought.

Not

March 10, 2026
Not ~ Photo by Leslie Greenson

Taking care
not
to be
the nasty one
the one
that shouldn’t be. 

Yes, I hope
that’s
not
not me.

Peace And Quiet

March 9, 2026
Peace And Quiet ~ Photo by Patrice

Peace and quiet
is
what I get
with 
sounds of silence
I won’t forget. 

Moving softly
beneath the sky
looking
trying my best
not to cry. 

For above
and
all around me
beauty reigns
not speaking
anything. 

Yet 
clearly
I hear a sweet refrain
echoing, echoing
all through 
this magnificent terrain.

When I Hear Your Call

When I Hear Your Call ~ Watercolour by Patrice

When I hear your call
My heart skips a beat
My mind thinks of all the things
I love about you
Oh, so sweet. 

When you had to go away
My days were grim
My heart was sad
How
My eyes did cry. 

Now again 
I can hear your voice
Taste your lips and behold you
With my eyes. 

My world is right
I’m loved
I’ll go thru the day
Without a sad or lonely cry.

Tired Of Angry

March 5, 2026
Tired Of Angry ~ Photo by Patrice

Tired of angry
sick
of
hate. 

Maybe tomorrow
I’ll go down
to
the shore
sit and wait
for
the waves
to wash in goodness
so
pure
so great. 

Never again
to
be lost
in
the wilderness
of
someone
else’s demented hate.

Give Me Strength

Give Me Strength ~ Photo by Patrice

Give me strength
give me
health
the rest I’ll recover
along
with
everyone else. 

There’ll be
no shortcuts
no crossing the line
I’ll do it
on
my own sweet time. 

So come along
join me
travelling your own path
to
happiness
and
security. 

Making sure
it
lasts, lasts
and
lasts.

I Have Heard You Call

March 2, 2026
I Have Heard You Call ~ Photo by Patrice

I have heard
you call
I’ve seen your face 
in
dreams
those dreams
of
yesterday 

Even thou there shows
no trace
my heart knows
you were here
you cared
with
no remorse 

Yes
you may be gone
from
this my life 
but 
in my heart, my head
your presence
is
still so strong 

I’ll go forward
in
those steps
steps you made
steps 
you tread upon.

Moving Forward

Moving Forward ~ Photo by Patrice

Moving forward is the only thing 
The only way 

With gentleness and resolve
Make your way 

Walk your path into tomorrow
Living in today 

Leave yesterday where it is
It’s had it’s time
It’s day.

I Creep I Crawl I Cry

February 26, 2026
I Creep I Crawl I Cry ~ Photo by Patrice

I creep, I crawl
I cry 

No idea
what I need
I feel
so wrong
so bad 

Will I die? 

Words
I hear 
words I say 

Are they real
or
a dream
I had yesterday?
